I agree 100%! I will go through what has been given to me and sort into piles...one pile is for will never, ever use...one pile is for I will definitely use, but only after washing....last pile is not my choice, but usable for scrappy after washing. The never use pile gets thrown into a bag and out it goes to donate or sometimes trash (some people don't realize that your 40 year old drapes do not make good quilts!)....anything I keep gets washed and then into the appropriate storage container.
